Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

There are thousands of abnormal conditions of [Grey Blood Curse], even if they are forcibly purified with the Level II authority [Saint Seal of God's Admonition], only 3 to 6 of them can be purified at one time.

The purified [Gray Blood Curse] will soon split and be replenished again - this is why even Archbishop Sid feels helpless.

Even for curses that can multiply on their own, the lower the total number, the faster they will split... Even if Archbishop Sid and the entire Songyuan Territory hold the Level II authority [Sacred Seal of God] The bishop continued to give Fabian divine advice. It would take at least a year to completely purify Fabian of the curse.

And this is obviously unrealistic... Regardless of the fact that the Holy Seal of God has to be used on other more important occasions, just letting Bishop Fabian tie up at least two bishops for a year, with the current situation of the "Holy Court" Dangerous situations are also difficult to do.

What's more, Archbishop Sid doesn't have such a thing as a "panel". He doesn't know the true state of the [Gray Blood Curse] in Archbishop Sid. That archbishop must have also tried to castigate him, but Several [divine warnings] had no effect, so I had to give up the idea in the end.

But Luo Xiu knew it.

The diocese also wanted to completely solve the curse on Bishop Fabian, but they were not prepared to use [divine advice], but wanted to use other methods.

——Kill the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice"!

That is the source of the curse. As long as the source is cut off, the [Grey Blood Curse] can be solved once and for all!

They indeed think so. The Holy Court’s pursuit of the “Lord of the Blood Sacrifice” has never stopped, and the clergy of the Sina City Church and even the Songyuan General Church have never given up on killing the “Lord of the Blood Sacrifice”. "Lord" goal.

It's just that the other party has disappeared since the "Holy War".

Although the "Blood of Thorns" is still rampant in the Nolan Empire, their leader "The Lord of Blood Sacrifice" has never appeared again, as if he has evaporated from the world——

But the "Holy Court" also gradually grasped the specific location of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" from intelligence from all parties.

That was in the territory of the Dark Principality, underground in Fafnir City - Luo Xiu, who had the memory of two lifetimes, also knew this, but there was nothing he could do against the Lord of Blood Sacrifice.

Because there was no opportunity to invade "Fafnir City" before, there was no chance to enter the "Blood of Thorns" lair and face the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice"——

But things are different now.

…

"Old priest..."

Luo Xiu then said to Leonard:

"I want to give it a try. Although it can't free the old bishop from the [Grey Blood Curse], it should be able to relieve some pain."

He looked into Leonard's eyes, and a complicated look flashed across Leonard's eyes. After thinking about it, he nodded.

"Try it, Luo Xiu."

"If something doesn't feel right, stop immediately," Leonard warned.

…

After getting permission from Priest Leonard, Luo Xiu took out the [Holy Grip] and poured as much of the [Glory] spirituality in his body into the scepter.

The scepter in his hand immediately pointed at Fabian, the back of his hand lit up with a bright golden holy seal light pattern, and he uttered a sacred Sanskrit prayer from his mouth.

The outline of his body was quickly covered with a layer of faint golden light, and the patterned light of the [Sacred Seal of God] also flashed quickly on the back of his hand, and an "angel" figure formed behind him!

He held the white rattle in his hand, looked at Fabian with pity in his golden eyes, and then slowly flew to Fabian's head and flew into the air above the bed where he was.

He shook the holy bell at the same time, and uttered an ancient divine message that did not belong to humans:

"——You will be baptized!"

After the Archangel announced this [divine announcement], His figure slowly disappeared.

But in Fabian's body, the brightest light quickly emerged, condensed, and lingered. The light became more intense and warmer——

The whole room was filled with pure, bright light, just like the last time Luo Xiu used the [Divine Admonition Seal], he felt as if the whole room was placed in pure white fire, but he did not feel hot.

While he was maintaining the panel monitoring of Fabian, he saw at the same time that there were five abnormal conditions of [Grey Blood Curse], which were broken and faded under the wash of light——

The holy seal of [God's Annunciation] has taken effect. At the same time, Luo Xiu also used auxiliary holy arts such as "Pure Glow", "Purification Technique", "Healing Technique", "Group Healing" and so on to heal Bishop Fabian's injuries.

Although it is only a drop in the bucket, it can still play a minor role in helping Bishop Fabian die.

"Um……"

"..."

As the sacred light filled the air, visible to the naked eye, the painful expression on Fabian's face eased slightly.

At least——his breathing no longer had a rough sound like sticky phlegm. Leonard, who was observing this from the side, immediately had an expression of surprise on his face.

"You have the authority of the Holy Seal of [God's Report], Luo Xiu..."

Leonard murmured:

"At that time, when Archbishop Sid came to treat Bishop Fabian, he also tried to use the Holy Seal of [God's Admonition] to treat him... It could indeed alleviate some of the symptoms of the curse."

"But it's just 'relief'..." His expression immediately became disappointed.

Looking at Bishop Fabion who was still sleeping deeply, and then at Leonard who was a little lonely, Luo Xiu said with half comfort and half assurance:

"I will find a way to make Bishop Fabian recover."

"Believe me, old priest... I promise you."

...

After that, Bishop Fabian was still sleeping, and Luo Xiu stopped disturbing him.

He knew Fabian's current condition and estimated that the old bishop had about three months left, which was enough...

Three months - Luo Xiu had made a decision.

After returning to Red Maple City, he would start preparing for the "counterattack" on the border of the Dark Principality.

And his first goal was "Fafnir City" - he would kill the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" with his own hands before Bishop Fabian was tortured to death by the [Gray Blood Curse].

By then, "God's Destiny" will also usher in the official public beta, and his lovely players will truly return - with the foundation laid by the previous internal beta, I believe that the first thing most players will do after "coming" is to join the church, which will be of great help to the "counterattack" plan.

"..."

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu and Priest Leonard had already come out of Bishop Fabian's room, and Leonard gently closed the door.

"Thank you, Luo Xiu."

Then, Leonard thanked Luo Xiu solemnly:

"Thank you for coming back, and thank you for what you did for the old bishop."

"You want to save Bishop Fabian's life... We all want to, Luo Xiu. I can feel your sincere heart, but don't force yourself too much."

...

After that, Leonard accompanied Luo Xiu and walked out of the courtyard of Bishop Fabian's "Holy See".

He tried to keep Luo Xiu for a few more days, but Luo Xiu just shook his head, saying that there were still many things waiting for him in Red Maple City, so Leonard had to give up.

Leonard sent Luo Xiu out of the inner courtyard and returned to the door of the church. He saw the clergy who came with Luo Xiu, who had been waiting patiently at the door of the church according to Luo Xiu's instructions.

He then watched Luo Xiu get back on the carriage, watched Luo Xiu lift the curtain, and waved goodbye to him.

Leonard also waved his hand, and the clergymen who were driving the carriages raised their whips at the same time.

"Squeak, squeak", the six carriages gradually went away with the sound of the axles turning one after another, and finally disappeared at the end of the street and disappeared from Leonard's sight.

...

One day later.

According to Luo Xiu's instructions, the "Business Travel" convoy stopped at the outskirts of "Dawn Town" belonging to Sina City.

Luo Xiu still let the convoy wait where it was. He got off the car, changed into his regular clothes, and walked towards the "Glorious Church" at the beginning.

Compared with Sina City, his impression of this place was not so deep - he just wanted to see the current situation of his old friends and see how his former "mentor" High Priest Ivan was doing now.

Following the road in his memory, he gradually saw the bell tower on the dome of the "Glorious Church" in his vision. It seemed to have been repaired and looked very new.

And when the "bell tower" became clearer, he heard the sound of reciting scriptures.

The voice was quite young, and it was obviously not from Ivan, but from another young priest.

Luo Xiu could see his back - he was standing in the church, praying devoutly to the statue of Suyu.

It seemed to be a young man with black hair, about the same height as himself when he was young...

Luo Xiu thought to himself, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He guessed that Ivan had indeed accepted another student as he said...

And behind the "apprentice priest" were many believers in Dawn Town.

They all held a copy of "The Listening of Glory" in their hands and were repeating the prayer of the young priest. The former "Mayor Rupert" was the most devout one among them.

But Ivan was not seen... Luo Xiu, who was mixed in with the believers, followed the prayer and looked around, but he did not see the teacher.

And Luo Xiu's appearance seemed to have attracted the attention of the young priest.

He turned around, looked at Luo Xiu a few more times in the crowd with a somewhat confused look, closed the "Glorious Listening" in his hand, walked to Luo Xiu and asked:

"Hello, respected sir, I don't seem to have seen you?"

"..."

"Don't mind me, I'm just an ordinary believer who came to participate in the praise."

At this time, Luo Xiu was wearing a short hat covering his forehead, and the scarf around his neck covered the lower half of his face. The believers around him also looked at him, but no one recognized him.

Luo Xiu smiled and asked the young priest in front of him:

"Excuse me, where is Father Ivan? I heard of the priest's good name and wanted to visit him..."

"Are you asking the teacher?"

The young priest said with sudden enlightenment, "So you are the teacher's friend, but the teacher is not here. He received a commission and went to a nearby town."

"Is that so..." Luo Xiu's face showed a regretful expression.

As he spoke, he reached into his arms and took out a heavy letter from his arms.

"Then when Father Ivan comes back, please pass this letter to him and tell him that... well, Mr. Alardin's friend came to visit him. Please, little priest."

"Oh..."

The young priest looked at Luo Xiu, then at the letter in his hand. He felt that the man in front of him was not a good person, but he still took the letter from him.

"I will pass it on for you." The young priest stuffed the letter back into his arms and said.

Luo Xiu nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and touched the head of the "junior" in front of him. Then, under the somewhat resistant gaze of the young priest, he turned and left, and quickly disappeared around the corner of the street.

…

until evening.

Dawn Town, in front of the Glorious Church.

The melodious sound of horse hoofbeats came, and the priest of the church returned happily on his pony.

"Hi Salco!"

"Father" shouted into the closed door of the church, "I'm back, Salko!"

Creak, creak, the sound of the door latch being moved came from behind the church door.

The young priest named "Sarko" opened the door of the church from the inside. He looked at the high priest Ivan who had just tied the horse and greeted him respectfully:

"You are back, teacher."

"Haha, good boy." Ivan smiled and nodded.

After tying the horse, he walked towards the church, then entered the church and closed the door again.

"Over in Saas Town, the 'exorcism' ritual at Mrs. Holmo's mansion was really a bit laborious...haha."

Ivan said casually, and then he asked Salko:

"How was your day, Sarko?"

"Today...is not bad, teacher." Salko replied respectfully.

But after saying this, he quickly recalled the "weird guy" he saw in the morning, so he told Ivan truthfully:

"There is just a strange person. Well, he said that he is just an ordinary believer. He seems to have come to visit you specially."

"Visit me?" Ivan was stunned.

"Yes, he said he seemed to be... a friend named Alai... Alai? Seeing that you were not in the church, he left a letter for you."

"Alaydin...haha, Sarco."

When he heard that Salko couldn't even pronounce his name clearly, Ivan smiled and teased him:

"You kid is good at everything, but your memory is a bit poor. You can't even remember your name..."

Suddenly, Ivan stopped talking and just looked at Salko, his expression seemed to be stunned for a few seconds.

Salko had never seen a teacher like this before. He instinctively felt a little scared and thought that something big was going on.

And then he heard Ivan murmur:

"Alerdine..."

"Is it 'Alerdine'?"

"Yes, yes! Teacher," Salko nodded quickly and heavily, "That's the name."

"That person left you a letter?"

"Yes, yes...teacher..."

Salko quickly reached into his arms, took out the heavy, unopened letter, and handed it to Ivan with both hands.

Ivan stretched out his hand to take it, and his eyes immediately fell on the gold fire lacquer seal on it——

It was a fire seal that represented "Bishop", with a name that was so familiar to Ivan engraved in it.

——"Bishop of Red Maple City, Luo Xiu Carlos"!

Salko saw that there seemed to be some kind of brilliant light flashing in his "teacher's" eyes.

He then watched the teacher take the cutting knife and carefully cut open the envelope, revealing the shining silver light inside!

Those are all imperial platinum coins!

One... two... Salko counted them, there were ten platinum coins in total!

That was equivalent to a thousand gold coins... Sarko's mouth opened subconsciously out of surprise and could not be closed for a long time.

"I've never seen so much money..."

Salko stared blankly at the platinum coins, but his teacher did not hear him. He just looked at the opened letter in his hand and muttered something to himself.

"Luo Xiu..."

Salko heard it, his "teacher" was murmuring the name.

"Don't wait for me when you come back. Just meet me. It's really..."

"At least eat before leaving. Why leave so much money..."

"..."

"Go, Salco, and buy two bottles of wine."

"I want to drink."

"What?" Salko looked at his teacher Ivan, suspecting that he might have heard something wrong——

"This is against..."

"Go quickly, Salko." Ivan interrupted:

"Now, Justa's Tavern is open. Salco, go buy two bottles of pure wheat craft beer and come back."

"You have a bottle with me too, Salko."

"Talk to me. I'll tell you a story about another student of mine..."
